osql will not come up MSDE (sp3) or earlier

When I try to run osql, I get the following error:
c:\program files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\

> osql -E -d CCOP or osql -U sa -P AStrongPassword -d CCOP
[Shared Memory]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
[Shared Memory]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).
I can start the instance "CCOP" from sqlmangr without any
issue, but when I try to run osql against the database, I
can never get past the startup
-d is the switch for the database name, not the instance name. Use the -S
switch to specify the instance name.
If you are not sure of the instance name, issue a osql -L for a list of SQL
Server instances.
See

for more information on running the osql utility.
